Greetings, :) I'm adding a FreeBSD machine to an existing all-sun shop and I need help with setting up amd. I'm a virtual NFS novice (although for those that don't know me I'm experienced with other aspects of FreeBSD). On our sun machines we have the following auto_Directory file: * IP&:/usr/& To translate, if I'm on local and I want to mount the /usr/foo directory on remote (where "IPfoo" is an alias in /etc/hosts for "remote") I just do 'cd /Directory/foo' and voila, I'm there. That's what the ampersand means in the automounter file. Now I don't necessarily need to be able to do all of that, I can generate a list of specific directories if I have to. What I DO need to be able to do is automount /usr/foo on "remote" when I cd to /Directory/foo on "local," and for the life of me I can't figure out the syntax of amd.conf, amd.map, or the amd command line. I'm sure I could probably lick it by spending some more time on it (which I will of course be doing) but I'm kind of under the gun at work to get this thing going like, yesterday. The good news is that I can mount the stuff with a manual mount command, so the NFS bit is good to go. It's just amd that's giving me grief. I looked through the mail archives and didn't see any examples that made sens to me. If someone could provide me with a concrete example, I'd be really grateful. I have read the web page at http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/bsd/amdref.html and still haven't deciphered it entirely. There is a lot of theory there, but not enough concrete examples for my taste. Many thanks, Doug -- Nominated for quote of the year is the statement made by Representative Dick Armey (Texas), who when asked if he were in the President's place, would he resign, responded: "If I were in the President's place I would not get a chance to resign. I would be lying in a pool of my own blood hearing Mrs. Armey standing over me saying, 'How do I reload this damn thing?'"
